Pork Free Classic Mezcal Negroni

Smoky, bitter, and just a little mysterious, this mezcal riff on a classic aperitivo cocktail is the kind of drink that makes people ask what's in it before they've even finished their first sip. Swapping gin for mezcal brings a gorgeous char and earthiness that plays beautifully against the bittersweet Campari and the rich, herbal depth of sweet vermouth. The whole thing comes together in a single mixing glass with nothing more than ice and a bar spoon — no shaker, no fuss, no special equipment required. That final twist of orange peel isn't just for looks; expressing the oils over the surface of the drink adds a bright citrus lift that ties every element together. Every ingredient here is naturally free of pork-derived additives, so you can sip without second-guessing the label on anything. It's the kind of cocktail that feels equally at home at a dinner party or a quiet evening on the porch, and once you've made it once, you'll want it in regular rotation.
